Fostering community
Our mission is to inspire and elevate every student's artistic journey. Through comprehensive and innovative programs in instrumental, vocal and digital music, theater, stagecraft and dance, we aim to nurture a community where passion thrives, skills flourish, and diverse voices resonate. We strive to provide a supportive environment that encourages artistic exploration, celebrates individuality, and prepares students for a lifelong appreciation of the performing arts, enriching their lives and the world around them.
Classes:
We offer the classes for students at all experience levels as well as for those who have never taken a music, drama or dance class. Click on each class title below to see class website.
